I think taht KDE4 do not touch your initial keyboard settings (xorg.conf or |
| 37 |
hal,...) unless you change something in its keyboard config |
| 38 |
(systemsettings ->regional&language->keyboard layout ) |
| 39 |
maybe that you have wrong keyboard set explicitly there? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I have "disable keyboard layouts" under the "layout" tab selected, |
| 42 |
but I can't say if it really works correctly (keeps the X |
| 43 |
configuration defaults) right now, because I can't restart X right now, |
| 44 |
and I change between |
| 45 |
'setxkbmap -option grp:shifts_toggle sk,us qwerty,' |
| 46 |
and a simple |
| 47 |
'setxkbmap us' |
| 48 |
with some scripts, because the dual layout confuses some apps like |
| 49 |
synergy, x2x, rdesktop, even some vnc clients... |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
what happens if you you type "setxkbmap de" in an terminal (konsole, |
| 53 |
xterm,...) after kde starts up? |
| 54 |
